Injen hands down, in my experience over the years with several different cars, Injen and AEM are head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to Fitment, Sound, Power, R&D, and Reliability.

I'm running the Injen right now and couldnt be happier.

i currently have the injen in my xD and it has done me well for quite some time. im going back to a stock box for the sake of rain protection, but that is very much a special case for me as i have no fender liners and am stanced lol. well worth the investment vs the others.

you wont have any issues with water at stock height or even lowered. im both lowered and dont have any front fender liners, so the filter was only protected by a water guard, which doesnt work well in puddles lol. youll be perfectly safe. this too is my DD

I know its not in your list there, but i just installed an aFe Power MagnumFORCE Stage-2 PRO 5R on my wife's xD and we both love it, the sound is amazing, really noticeable starting at 2.5K RPM and starts a light whistle around 4.5K RMP to redline, we both noticed a little bit more pull around the higher RPM range. We both preferred the short ram style and looks to it. We also have the dry medium intake, we wanted low maintance.
